"Be Prepared"

I am a senior in high school trying to figure out where I want to apply. I hope to one day be involved in investment banking, and want to go to the best undergraduate school possibly for this future. My basic credentials are as follows:

3.5 high school GPA 1900 on the SAT, above average extracurricular list

It is not realistic for me to apply to wall street targets like the Ivies, NYU, MIT, etc.

I just want to know what would be basically the closest thing to a wall street target that I could most likely get into with my credentials (where my numbers match). I don't mind being the ~ bottom 25% of a school, I don't need much merit money/ aid. I want to maximize my opportunities and hopefully attend the best school possible with my numbers. Can anyone make suggestions? Thanks.

I would also like to possibly get involved in Real Estate investing/ finance at some point. Wherever the money is.
